Organic Surge Lavender Meadow Foaming Bath (£5.99, John Lewis, Waitrose)
No nasty parabens or chemical scents here: this gorgeous bath foam smells like a lavender field in Provence. With top quality organic ingredients, it’s fantastic value for money, too.
Aveda Shampure Composition (£22, aveda.co.uk)
We love a hard-working beauty hero: slick this super-light oil on hair, scalp, nails, face, feet, hands or all over your body and it’ll nourish skin parched by central heating and cold winds.
